Boiler Explosion In the Rear Fart of th Gnmrey Hons Fire Adds to th Hor ror Many Rescued From the Windows Dne to an Intoxicated Engineer. Denver, Col., Aug. 20. About 12:10 o'clock this morning a terrific explo sion occurred in the rear of the Gumry hotel, 1725 to 1733 Lawrence street, a five story brick and stone structure, in which were between forty and fifty people, most of them asleep. The building was almost completely wrecked and surrounding buildings were badly damaged. The fire department and many vol unteers were soon on the scene and in half an hour five persons who had oc cupied upper rooms were taken out more or less iniured. Then the ruins caught fire and firemen and others who were trying to rescue those buried un der the debris were forced to retreat while c ries and moans were heard is suing from the midst of the ruins. To add to the excitement, a hose team ran away and several persons were trampled upon and injured. Live electric light wires were also a constant source of peril for a time. When the firemen were driven back by the flames they had almost com pleted the rescue of two women and two men, but notning more could be done and soon all four were beyond all hope. All night long, the firemen poured water on the burning debris and as soon as the flames were driven away from one section, the work of rescue was resumed. Joe Munal of Cairo, I1L, was rescued at 3:30 o'clock, after an hour's work, and it is certain that no more of the victims can be alive. Police Surgeon Jarecki took his place where he could keep Munal's head moist and properly attend to him while his lower limbs were being extricated. It was a po sition of great danger for all, oa account of the flames and the over hanging roof,, which threatened to come down at any moment. But the men worked on hauling at beams with ropes and using every device to clear the space around the suffering man, who bore his agony with great bravery and cheered on his helpers. At last about 3:30 o'clock a great cheer arose and word was spread among the great crowd waiting outside that the work was finished. Soon firemen and citizens appeared at the entrance bear ing Munal on a stretcher. He was conscious but suffering great agony, and the physicians expressed little hope for his ultimate revival. When he revived, he said: "I am a cigar maker and have been in the city for a week, having come here from Cairo, 11L I was upstairs in bed when 1 beard an awful crash. I did not know what it was and got out of bed and hurried out, and on going down stairs I must have lost my way, for when I got down on what I thought was the ground floor, I fell down into the basement." THE DEAD AND THE MISSING. At 10 o'clock the fire in the ruins had been extinguished, and the search for the dead was begun, a large force of men and teams being engaged in hauling away the debris. At 11 o'clock one body, which was not identified, had been removed and several more were in sight. The dead . so far as ascertained arc as follows: Peter Gumry, owner of the hotel. R. C. Greiner, manager of the hotel, sm-in-law of Peter Gumry. Mrs. R. C. Greiner, clerk of the ho tel, daughter of Peter Gumry. General Charles Adams,. Manitou, Col. A. L. Blake, Pueblo, CoL Myron E. Hawley, Union Pacific railroad clerk, Denver. James Murphy, contractor, Denver. George Burt, passenger conductor ob. the Rock Island railroad, Colorado Springs. Mrs. Wolf and daughter. Two chambermaids, names ' un known. O.ie bell boy, name unknown. In addition to the dead, there are the following missing: Grenier, father of R. C. Grenier, manager of the hotel'. Bud Burnes, Colorado Springs. W. J. Carson, Pueblo. F. French, Central City. Bert I.' Larsh, Central City. E. F. McCloskey, Canon City. Judge Glinn, Leadville. The whole rear half of the hotel was blown to atoms and the front portions are merely shattered and burned frag ments of a house. There is no doubt that the wreck was caused by a boiler explosion. Frank Loescher, the enginer, it is said, was intoxicated, and after turn ing a large quantity of cold water into the hot boilers left the building ten minutes before the explosion occurred. The police are looking for him. R. E. Irwin, the night clerk, says Loescher, who was only 17 years old, was drunk when he went on duty, and that he was in the habit of neglecting his duty. The Gumry was a five-story building valued at 830,000, and had been used as a hotel since 1888, when it was re built after a fire in which one life was lost. It wo 8 of the better kind of sec ond class European hotels, catering largely to transient family patronage. It was built as the Eden Musee by the widow of General Tom Thumb, and was so occupied. Afterward it was re modled for use as a hotel. Gumry and Grenier had owned it for several years. No meals were served in the hotel. Serious Affair at Arbeca, I. T. Guthrie, Ok.. Aug. 2 0. Daniel R. Brown, a merchant in from the Sem inole reservation, brings information of a dastardly crime committed near Arbeca. A gang of Creek Indians and negroes, with several white outlaws, raided Samuel Norford's store and, after gutting the place, assaulted and otherwise mistreated five women in the neighborhood, several of whom are likely to die. At Rock away Beach, N. Y., the Ocean View hotel was burned. The guests escaped in their night clothes. PITTSBURG STORM -SWEPT. A Fierce Gale Vl.lu the Town Doing Ureat Damage. PITT8BCB0, Pa., Aug. 80. A fleroa wind and rain storm swept down on this city last night without warning at a time when the parks were filled with people and the rivers with . boats crowded with excursionists. As far as known two women and one man were drowned, a score of persons were injured, two, it is thought, fatally, and property damaged to the extent of 8100,000. So tremendous was the force of the tornado that the steamers Lud Keefar, Little Bill and Arlington were over turned and many barges, coal boats and small craft torn from their moor ings and sent adrift. The passenger barge Dakota was forced against the Smithfleld street bridge and the side crushed in. She sank in several feet of water. When the storm struck the Keefer Captain Keefer, Mate Miller, Millie Lindbaugh, the cook, and two colored chambermaids were on board, but all reached the shore in safety except Millie Lindbaugh, who became ex hausted and was drowned. The steamer Courier, with 400 pas sengers on board, was swept with ' water and the passengers became panic stricken, but Captain Klein succeeded in making a landing at Painter's Mills and all left the boat in safety. While the wind was at its highest an unknown woman attempted to cross the Point bridge. She was caught in a whirlwind and blown into the river and drowned. . Archibald Sepbie was blown into the river and drowned while trying to tighten the lines of some coal barges in the West end. He v.as married and had a large family. On Second avenUe a feed wire was broken and in attempting to repair it Conductor Adams was fatally shocked. On the South side the large grain elevator of Henderson & Johnson, in course of construction, was almost completely demolished. The heavy iron girders fell on a row of tenements and crushed them, but fortunately the occupants were away from home. Two freight cars on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie road were lifted from the tracks and blown into the Monon gahela river and portions of the Mo nongahela and Castle Shannon inclines were carried away by the wind and de molished. On the north side of Alleghany City great damage was done to small buildings and trees were uprooted in the parks, but as far as reported no persons were seriously injured. TWO NOTABLE DEATHS. Ex-Justice Strong and Leonard W. Tolk Funs Away. Lake Minnewaska, N. Y., Aug. 80. Ex-Associate Justice Strong of the United States supreme court, died here at ten minutes past 2 o'clock this af ternoon. Justice Strong was born at Somers, Conn., May 6, 1808, of an old New England family of note. In 1146 he was elected to congress as a Democrat. In 1848 he was re-elected, but in 1850 he declined a third term. In 1857 he was elected a justice of the Pennsylvania supreme court and served for eleven years, at taining a high reputation as a jurist At one time he was prominently men tioned for chief justice of the United States supreme court In 1808 he re tired from the bench and returned to the practice of law in Philadelphia, but in 1870 he was appointed by Presi dent Grant as a member of the United States supreme court, an honor he es teemed most deeply. His opinions were always held most highly. In 1877 he was a member of the Electoral commission and was one of those who opposed congressional canvass of state elections. He retired in 1880 on ac count of age, but since then had de livered many addresses and lectures and been prominent in religious work. LEONARD W. VOLK DEAD. The Eminent Chicago Sculptor Passes Away Suddenly His Noted Works. Chicago, Aug. iO. Leonard W. Volk, the eminent sculptor, died suddenly at his summer home at Osceola, Wis., yes terday. He was born in Wells, Ham ilton county, N. Y., November 7, 1828. In 1860 he executed a portrait-bust of Abraham Lincoln, which was destroyed in the fire of 1871. His principal works were the Douglas monument in Chicago, several soldiers1 monu ments, the statuary for the Kelp mausoleum in Watertown, N. Y., life size statues of Lincoln and Douglas in the lL.nois state house, and portrait busts of Henry Clay, Zacharian Chand ler, David Davis, Bishop Fowler, Leonard Swett and E. B. Washburne, His son, S. A. Douglas Volk is a noted artist ARMENIANS IN A RIOT. The Meeting of the Chicago Union Breaks I p In a Fierce Fight. Chicago, Aug. 20. At the meeting last night of the Armenian National union for the election of officers, a riot broke out and people on the street heard the sound of a fierce conflict, of flvinc chairs and fnriniia mlwi Than suddenly the noise was hushed jj i . mm uown me stairs came nearly 100 men. Some of them were blood stained. One. with his head Vimin1 in a handkerchief, appeared to be nearly iu&ensiuie, ana naa to be carried down by his companions. There was scarcely a man without a black eye or some mark of conflict. After the riot had subsided the po lice arrived, but they could not find the leaders and no arrests were made. None of those injured were thought to be fatally hurt. A Notorious Bridge Completed, Louisville, Ky., Aug. 20.

Why should southern farmers wear themselves out fighting for special privileges for gold owners? Why not vote for the sub-treasury plan, and thus put the cotton raiser on an equal footing with the mine owner and the national banker? . He certainly does as much for the country as either.

Coming Nation. Government banking is the only solution of the money question; for while private institutions have abso lute control of 04 per cent, of the busi ness transactions, it will be to their interest to produce depressions and create panics. The organized banking interests have become a power too great and dangerous to exist in a free government Chicago Express. "Men are cheaper than shingles," remarked the proprietor of a sweat shop in Philadelphia not long ago. That is right If one dies it costs noth ing, not even funeral expenses, for his employer to put another man in his place. There is nothing on earth quite so cheap as men and women, notwith standing they were made in the image of God. Clay Center Dispatch. "The reaction has come" is an nounced in the columns of a prominent metropolitan newspaper. Then it goes on telling how the sudden return to prosperity has been as suddenly stopped. The financial system that can play head and tail with the desti nies of 70,000,000 people is radically wrong, and unless it is changed there will be music in the air pretty soon. Nonconformist Continued suspensions of savings institutions and national banks, and the regularity with which the deposits of from eight to twelve thousand work ing people are stolen every week by the banks, suggest the possibility that the anticipated and long promised wave of prosperity is all a myth and only exists in the columns of the sub sidized press. A confidence based on nothing but wind will bring no perma nent prosperity. Chicago Express.

Nonconformist What a grand thing it is to be a workingman in a "free country!" A free and independent sovereign in a "republic!" A wage slave in a land of "liberty," where, if you can't live on the wages a gluttonous corporation chooses to offer you, you can "go to the devil," the soup house or the gravel Hurrah for humbug, cant and hypo crisy!
